Andy Camou Eliminated in 5th Place ($680); Andrew Phares Eliminated in 6th Place ($460)

Andrew Phares
Andrew Phares

No-Limit Hold'em

Andrew Phares shoved under the gun for 31,000. Michael Chan called on the button. Andy Camou jammed for 74,000 in the small blind, and an anguished Chan called.

Phares: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}
Camou: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Chan: {9-Spades}{8-Spades}

Chan was disappointed to see his spades were dead, but the {8-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop paired him. The {4-Diamonds} turn and {2-Clubs} river were bricks, and Chan exhaled.

Pot-Limit Omaha

Michael Chan opened to 20,000. Greg Bitterly called on the button. Brent Harrington potted to 90,000, and Dan Hernandez put his whole stack of 31,000 in. Chan folded but Bitterly called to create a side pot. The flop came {10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and Harrington potted all in for 135,000 or so. Bitterly tanked a couple of minutes and called.

BItterly: {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{4-Spades}
Harrington: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Hernandez: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

Amazingly, the kings held up unimproved as the board ran out {9-Diamonds} then {7-Hearts}.

Harrington Doubles Again

Stud

Michael Chan limped then bet fourth and fifth. Harrington jammed for 39,000 more and Chan called.

Chan: {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}/{6-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Harrington: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}/{5-Spades}{k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Harrington was in danger of drawing dead on the end but let Chan flip first and it was a brick, so the sevens were good.

Limits have moved to 40,000/80,000.

Harrington Grabs Lead

No-Limit Hold'em

Brent Harrington took the lead when Michael Chan raised to 100,000 on the button and Harrington jammed for 305,000 at blinds of 10,000/20,000. Chan snapped and was happy to show {a-Spades}{j-Clubs} but Harrington had {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts}, and Harrington doubled.

Chan has since battled back a bit but is still down. The levels went up and they're playing blinds of 15,000/30,000 in big-bet.
